It's time for me to upgrade my aging GTX1070 and I am trying to decide between the 4070ti and the 7900xt. The card will be bought through my employer ($900 is my hard limit) so those are my two options. I have a 4k 144hz monitor that I haven't been able to drive properly with the 1070.
I read and watched all the reviews I could find. The cards are basically the same price. The 7900xt beats the 4070ti in raster pretty much in every game. The weakness of the 7900xt seems to be RT, but it doesn't seem to be as bad as I expected. There are even games where it beats the 4070ti even with RT on. The 2 worst cases I saw were Control and Cyberpunk 2077. The one variable I'm not sure about is DLSS vs FSR - do we expect FSR to gain similar traction to DLSS? Is the 7900xt missing any features?
So overall, the two are priced the same (in practice), the 7900xt is faster without RT and just a bit slower with RT on. Is there a reason to consider the 4070ti over the 7900xt?
